Highlight:
Cracking the Code of Success: Balancing Family and Professional Priorities – Kevin Oldham
“And so you’ve gotta figure out what works for you, what works for the people that you serve, all the stakeholders in your life, and most importantly, what works for your family And I think that if you work with what are the rocks that you have to think about in relation to your family and then work backwards, then you’re gonna be good to go.”
Finding Purpose in Work and Family: Balancing Commitments in Different Seasons of Life – Kevin Oldham
“I think self awareness is probably the other thing is being aware of a season of life, being aware of if something’s permanent. It’s a couple years, if it’s just a temporary thing, and then adapting your work into it and making sure that your team members know about it. That’s really the success factor, I think, is having team members that you could rely on that if you set up a set of rules for when you’re gonna be gone, And you also set up rules and expectations for when you work, when you don’t work, the the stakeholders, whether they’re franchisees, whether customers, they start to figure out what your cadence is. And I think that everybody understands that everybody has a family, and we’re all working for something greater than that, but it could be a greater cause, purpose, family, all those things.”
